Directions  for  Applying 


w ITH  every  ceiling  we  furnish  a blue  print  or  working  drawing  showing  the  exact  size  and  arrangement  of  each  member  of  the  combination  ceiling 
design;  also  a packing  slip  containing  an  itemized  list  of  the  material  shipped.  This  should  be  checked  with  the  material  immediately  and  if  any 
shortage  exists  we  will,  upon  being  notified,  make  correction,  providing  such  notice  is  given  us  before  you  start  to  erect  the  ceiling. 

Study  the  plan  carefully,  verify  the  measurements  and  as  this  plan  is  made  strictly  in  accordance  with  the  measurements  and  information  furnished 
us,  and  ample  allowance  is  made  for  cutting,  laps  and  waste,  any  additional  materials  required  on  account  of  incorrect  information  or  measurements,  or 
changes  in  measurements,  will  be  charged  for  extra. 

burring  strips  must  be  used  when  applying  metal  ceiling  or  side  wall  direct  to  joists  or  over  plaster.  When  applying  over  sheathing,  furring  strips 
are  not  necessary. 

When  applying  the  furring  strips,  strike  a chalk  line  from  both  ends  of  the  room,  to  be  used  as  your  "starting  line”  from  which  to  work.  When 
furring  for  continuous  plates,  the  first  strip  is  placed  on  the  “starting  line”  and  at  right  angles  with  the  joists,  placing  the  additional  strips  parallel  and 
12  inches  apart,  or  in  case  of  the  plaster  being  loose,  it  is  best  to  strip  every  six  inches,  then  the  cross  furring  or  headers  at  the  laps  of  the  plates,  which 
would  be  every  48  inches  or  9G  inches,  as  the  case  may  be.  It  is  essential  that  the  furring  strips  be  applied  exactly  to  the  center  of  the  nailing  points  on 
every  plate,  as  indicated  on  the  plan. 

It  is  not  always  necessary  to  have  special  furring  for  the  cornice,  but  the  wall  line  should  be  straight  and  furring  applied  to  the  ceiling  and  wall  to 
which  the  brackets  for  the  cornice  are  nailed.  Brackets  to  fit  the  cornice  are  furnished,  one  for  every  4-foot  section  and  two  for  each  miter. 

Work  should  be  commenced  in  the  rear  and  brought  forward  when  possible. 

Stripping  should  be  leveled  and  with  this  done  the  field  plates  should  be  applied  first.  The  border  or  molding  should  be  next  applied,  taking  care  to 
leave  the  outer  edge  of  the  mold  un-nailed.  The  filler  is  next  applied,  lapping  one  edge  under  the  molding,  which  outer  edge  is  then  nailed.  The  cor- 
nice is  then  put  up,  lapping  over  the  outer  edge  of  the  filler,  thus  completing  the  ceiling. 

We  furnish  square  inside  and  outside  miters  for  nearly  all  our  cornices.  For  those  for  which  we  make  no  miters  we  send  sufficient  material  for  the 
erector  to  make  plain  miters.  «• 

Our  ceilings  are  printed  one  coat  of  light  gray  paint  on  both  sides. 

We  ini  lude  wood  brackets  for  cornice  and  nails  for  erection. 

Wood  furring  strips  are  never  provided  unless  ordered  special  and  then  they  at  ( Charged  for  e! 

Practically  the  same  instructions  apply  for  furring  side  walls.  In  cases  where  wainscot  is  used,  t MH^^nscot  is  applied  first  and  then  the  wall  plate, 
working  from  the  bottom  up  to  the  edge  of  the  cornice.

Steel  Ceilings  as  a Fire  Preventive 

Since  Steel  Ceilings  were  first  introduced  into  the  field  of 
building  products,  the  fact  that  they  are  fire-proof  has  never 
been  questioned,  but  the  full  extent  of  their  fire  resisting  qualities 
was  never  positively  known  until  but  recently. 

On  November  11,  1914,  an  exhaustive  test  was  conducted 
by  Prof.  Jas.  S.  McGregor,  M.  S.,  at  the  Columbia  University 
Fire  Testing  Station  at  Green  Point,  Brooklyn,  with  a view  to 
determining  the  relative  values  of  Steel  Ceiling  and  Plaster  as 
fire  resisting  wall  coverings.  The  specially  built  reinforced 
concrete  building  used  for  conducting  the  tests  contained  six 
different  panels,  two  plaster  and  four  Metal  Ceilings,  specified 
in  the  following  manner:  — Plaster  on  wood  lath;  plaster  on 
metal  lath;  Metal  Ceiling  on  wood  furring;  Metal  Ceiling 
on  metal  covered  furring;  Metal  Ceiling  on  J^-inch  wood 
sheathing;  Metal  Ceiling  on  wood  furring  and  plaster  boards 
nailed  to  wood  beams. 


At  the  end  of  the  test  which  lasted  exactly  one  hour  and 
ten  minutes,  and  during  which  a temperature  of  1,700  degrees 
was  reached,  the  following  decisions  were  rendered  by  the  in- 
spectors in  the  order  of  their  superiority: 

No.  1 Metal  Ceiling  on  plaster  boards  and  wood  furring. 
No.  2 Metal  Ceiling  on  inch  sheathing. 

No.  3 Plaster  on  metal  lath. 

No.  4 Metal  Ceiling  on  metal  covered  wood  furring. 

No.  5 Metal  Ceiling  on  wood  furring 
No.  6 Plaster  on  wood  lath 

The  Plaster  Ceiling  on  Wood  Lath  fell  twelve 

MINUTES  AFTER  THE  START  OF  THE  FIRE. 

This  decision  has  served  to  establish  beyond  a doubt  the 
supremacy  of  Metal  Ceilings  as  a fire  retardant  wall  covering. 
A more  complete  report  of  the  test  will  be  forwarded  upon 
request.
